On 9 February a check in the amount of $159.95 mysteriously appeared to be debited from my bank account. Although the bank and routing information allowed this check to process, my last name is incorrect. The check was addressed to be paid to Safe National of America. I have never heard of this company, did not make a purchase for anything, or ask for a "payday loan", or apply for anything in this amount and I do not use "checks" to buy products, ever. I inquired at the phone number provided on this check and received an answering machine for customer service and no live person. They expect you to leave a message and phone number.
I called my bank and inquired whether there was another name for this company that I might recognize. There is not and so I consider this activity to be fraudulent. My bank googled the information and informed me about the numerous "rip-off" reports on this company. She also gave me additional phone numbers and the "presidents" name of the company (ironically his last name appears as my last name on the check). The additional phone number either brought me to the same answering service and one of the numbers (the non-800 number) is no longer in service.
I have emailed this gentleman and will be awaiting his return email in order to get a refund. If I do not hear from him I will be following up with a police report and fraudulent report with my bank. Unlike some of the other customers that I have read to report a rip-off, my amount was very, very, expensive.
Please report this rip-off and let consumers be highly aware of this activity!!! Thank you.
